You asked me in a private message to defend my opinion. Why?
I like to see books in a house. I don't need tons of bookshelves, but a shelf or two showing my hardbound favorites. Right now, none are on display, because we moved and don't have the same space. We got rid of many, but still probably have a few hundred give or take. I can't read print books easily, so 99% of my reading is done from a Kindle or mobile device.
A house with no books freaks me out. I know people who don't do any reading for pleasure. It's a trait I don't understand.
